Title: "The Evolution of Rotation Group Bias: Will the Real Unemployment Rate Please Stand Up?"


**** SOFTWARE ****
The analysis was done using Stata MP 14.1.


**** DATA ****

The analysis uses samples from the Current Population Survey (CPS) public use files, 1976-2014.

Those samples are provided in Stata format. The file names are in the form of "baseXXXXax.dta.gz".
	"XXXX" indicates the sample year.

There are 39 Stata data files named "base1976ax.dta.gz", "base1977ax.dta.gz",..., and "base2014ax.dta.gz".
	The Stata data files contain a brief description for each variable.


**** STATA CODES ****

Three Stata .do files are provided for replicating results presented in the paper.
(The portion of codes corresponding to each table/figure is noted in the .do files.)

"RGB_CPS_codes_descriptive_REStat.do"
	The file contains codes for generating descriptive statistics of rotation group bias.

"RGB_CPS_codes_analysis_REStat.do"
	The file contains codes for analyzing factors that affect the magnitude of rotation group bias.

"RGB_CPS_codes_linked_sample_REStat.do"
	The file contains codes for creating a sample of survey respondents linked across 8 survey months and
	for analyzing how non-response affects the magnitude of rotation group bias.
